Chapter 17: Stop Pestering

```

Shi Hui snorted coldly, "You wish! I wouldn't engage in such brainless acts that would only boost your popularity! Besides, since you're going to be dumped anyway, I wouldn't want Brother Chenxiao to have you as a stain on his romantic history."

Song Yan looked at her with a half smile, "Are you so sure about that?"

So sure that she would be the one getting dumped?

Upon hearing this, Shi Hui spoke proudly, "Yinrong has already returned, it's just a matter of time before you get dumped."

Song Yan's expression stiffened almost imperceptibly.

"When did this happen?"

Shi Hui was confused by the question, "When did what happen? Yinrong's back, and you getting dumped is just a matter of time. Do you expect me to calculate the exact date for you? Are you kidding me!"

Song Yan frowned and asked her in a deep voice, "When did she return?"

The Yinrong mentioned by Shi Hui was none other than Jiang Yinrong. According to Shi Hui, she was Gu Chenxiao's childhood sweetheart, and they had a relationship before. However, after Jiang Yinrong went abroad, they broke up.

Shi Hui said that Gu Chenxiao was very much in love with Jiang Yinrong.

And he hadn't let go of her even after all these years.

A few days ago, Shi Hui had approached her and informed her of this, saying that Jiang Yinrong was returning to the country.

But it had only been three or four days, and she was back already?

"The 21st. If I hadn't been busy that day, I'd definitely have gone to pick her up from the airport."

The 21st...

The same day Gu Chenxiao suddenly returned to the country was also the 21st.

Based solely on Shi Hui's word, she didn't believe it.

She'd seen plenty of schemes aimed at inciting discord. What of childhood sweethearts, or past relationships?

All that was in the past.

Song Yan pulled her thoughts back.

Anyway, she had already broken up with Gu Chenxiao.

Whether it was Jiang Yinrong or someone else, it was no longer her concern.

Shi Hui burst out laughing upon hearing her sudden laughter.

She looked at Song Yan with a baffled expression and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing much, just thinking that even you didn't go to the airport to pick her up; your dear Yinrong is really quite pitiful."

She had a hunch, and the reaction from Shi Hui would confirm whether it was right or wrong.

Shi Hui snorted in conviction, saying firmly, "If it weren't for Brother Chenxiao being abroad, you can be sure he would have definitely gone to pick her up!"

Song Yan raised an eyebrow.

This confirmed her suspicion.

If Gu Chenxiao had returned with Jiang Yinrong that day, Shi Hui would have been eager to gloat to her about it, not keeping quiet like she was now.

Shi Hui was annoyed by her inscrutable smile, thinking she was really in denial until the bitter end.

But then she thought, how much longer can she stay arrogant?

Suddenly she also sneered and said with triumph, "Once Brother Chenxiao comes back from abroad, you won't matter anymore. I advise you to be sensible and not to cling on hopelessly; it'd save you some embarrassment."

Song Yan nodded earnestly, her eyes filled with gratitude. She was moments away from reaching out and earnestly clasping her hands in thanks, "Alright, thank you for the advice; you really are a good person."

"..." Shi Hui looked at her with a puzzled gaze, until Song Yan's figure disappeared from sight. Then she couldn't help but mutter, "She must be crazy."

Half-Drunk Bar.

The usual spot.

Lu Zhanying poured a glass of lemon water for Song Yan and pushed it in front of her, "You've been coming here quite often lately."

Though Song Yan would meet up with them whenever she had time off, she actually had very few holidays normally.

Having come several times recently, Lu Zhanying began to think not only had she gone through a breakup, she might have lost her job as well.

"Is this how you do business? Complaining about a customer coming in often?" Song Yan gave the glass a glance and pushed it back, "Tonight, I want to drink."
